The Government of India is funding the construction of 36 community clinics in five North Eastern districts of Bangladesh at a cost of Tk 9 crore.

It is envisaged that each community clinic will cater to a population of about 6,000. These clinics will provide primary healthcare with emphasis on maternal and child health care services at the door-step of the rural population.

The projects are chosen to keep in mind geographical spread, socio-economic benefits and priority of the government of Bangladesh.

In the last five years, the government of India has completed 29 grant projects worth around Tk 112 crore under its ‘Aid-to-Bangladesh’ programme.

In 2017, 59 projects were at various stages of implementation at a cost of about Tk 1100 crore.
